A football fan has suffered "serious injuries" after being attacked outside Horley train station whilst on his way home from a match.

The incident took place following Crystal Palace's draw with West Ham United, at around 7.15pm on February 9.

Surrey Police has said that the victim, aged 20, suffered a broken jaw and pelvis in the assault - which escalated from a "disagreement" between two groups of men.

The 20-year-old was travelling with three friends from East Croydon after the match at Selhurst Park, when they became involved in a disagreement with a group of around 12 other men.

CCTV images have now been released of three men that police would like to speak to in connection with the incident.

The first is described as male, white, in his 20s, slim build and wearing a red t-shirt. The second male is described as white, early to mid 40s and bald. The third is also a white male, in his late 20s to early 30s, around 5ft 8in and was wearing a grey Crystal Palace beanie.

Police have said that one of the suspects punched the victim's friend outside Horley train station, and that the victim was also punched and kneed by two men.

A third suspect then punched the victim in the face, leaving him with a broken jaw.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Richard Stoneham said: "I'm hoping that someone recognises these three men as we would like to speak to them in relation to our ongoing investigation.

"The incident quickly escalated from a disagreement to the victim being punched in the face and left with serious injuries. We are appealing to anyone who has any information about it to come forward."
